    <p>The Matplot entity is a leaf of the graphics entities hierarchy. It
    represents 2D plots of surface using colors and images (see
    <tt>
        <b>Matplot</b>
      </tt> and <tt>
        <b>Matplot1</b>
      </tt>).</p>
    <dl>
      <dd>
        <b>parent: </b>This property contains the handle of the parent. The parent of the
        Matplot entity should be of the type <tt>
          <b>"Axes"</b>
        </tt>.</dd>
      <dd>
        <b>children: </b>This property contains a vector with the <tt>
          <b>children</b>
        </tt> of
        the handle. However, <tt>
          <b>Matplot</b>
        </tt> handles currently do not
        have any <tt>
          <b>children</b>
        </tt>.</dd>
      <dd>
        <b>visible: </b>This field contains the <tt>
          <b>visible</b>
        </tt> property value for
        the entity . It should be <tt>
          <b>"on" </b>
        </tt> or <tt>
          <b>"off"</b>
        </tt> .
        By default, the plot is visible, the value's property is
        <tt>
          <b>"on"</b>
        </tt>. If <tt>
          <b>"off"</b>
        </tt> the plot is not drawn on the
        screen.</dd>
      <dd>
        <b>data: </b>This field defines a [<tt>

        </tt>]
        <tt>
          <b>color</b>
        </tt> data matrix using the current colormap. The color
        associated to <tt>
          <b>color(i,j)</b>
        </tt> is used do draw a small square
        of length 1 with center at location <tt>
          <b>(x=j,y=(m-i+1))</b>
        </tt>.</dd>
      <dd>
        <b>user_data: </b>This field can be use to store any scilab variable in the Matplot
        data structure, and to retreive it.</dd>
